Yahoo Launches Supercharged News App with Artifact's Technology and Premium Features

Jun 13, 2024, 01:15 PM

Yahoo has launched a revamped version of its free Yahoo News app, leveraging technology from Artifact, a news app startup originally created by Instagram's co-founders. Yahoo acquired Artifact in April 2024 and integrated its AI capabilities to supercharge the personalization and functionality of its own news app. The new Yahoo News app offers features such as key takeaways on articles, the ability to flag and rewrite clickbait headlines, reading streaks and badges, and free access to premium news sources. This move represents a significant step in Yahoo's efforts to improve its mobile news offerings and provide users with a more engaging and personalized news experience.
